Vincent van Gogh, Portrait of Dr. Gachet, Impressionism, 1890, The whereabouts of this first version are currently unknown.

Portrait of Dr. Gachet is one of Vincent van Gogh's most famous paintings. He painted two versions in June 1890 during the last months of his life.

The portraits were painted in Auvers-sur-Oise close to Paris, and depict Doctor Gachet with a foxglove plant. Gachet took care of van Gogh during his last months. Gachet was also a hobby painter and became good friends with van Gogh and indeed he requested that van Gogh paint a second version of the portrait. The foxglove in the painting is a plant from which digitalis is extracted for the treatment of certain heart complaints; the foxglove is thereby an attribute of Gachet.

The painting became famous on May 15, 1990, when Japanese businessman Ryoei Saito paid $82.5 million for it at auction in Christie's, New York. This made it the most expensive painting at the time.
